In his fourth season as assistant coach (2014), Reynolds helped develop a young pool of talent that bodes well for the future of the Blue Demon program. Freshman Han Wustling was named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team and led all BIG EAST freshmen in assists. He finished No. 8 in the conference overall in assists and assists per game. Freshman Alessandro Thomas was tied for third on the team in goals and points and was named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll. Freshman Caleb Pothast was among the top performers in the Blue Demon back line while freshmen George Moushi, Philipp Koenigstein, Marcus Griggs and Kosta Brkovic all made valuable contributions.

Sophomore Simon Megally led the team in points, shots and shots on goal and was second in goals and assists. Sophomore Erik Rodriguez was second in goals and third in points. Junior Jalen Harvey led the team in goals and was second in points. Sophomore Brian Hindle returned from a season-ending injury in 2013 to become an impact player in the midfield and also on defense. Junior goalkeeper Mack Robinson was second in the BIG EAST and No. 37 in the country in saves.

The 2013 Blue Demons ended a competitive season on a high note with a 2-1 upset of No. 10 Marquette on Senior Day. Junior Art Garza scored the first goal and assisted on the game-winning header by junior Koray Yesilli. Blazer guided the team on a five-game unbeaten streak from Sept. 17-Oct. 2. Included in that stretch was a 2-2, double-overtime tie with No. 7 St. John's.

That demonstrated the team's resiliency. The Blue Demons battled right to the end in overtime losses against three nationally ranked teams. Their schedule featured matches against eight teams that would be ranked in the nation's Top 25 during the season highlighted by the victory over Marquette and the tie with St. John's. Senior goalkeeper Eric Sorby had a career year and was No. 2 in the nation in total saves during the middle of the 2013 season.
